Using proteins from soil or groundwater as functional biomarkers requires efficient extraction.
We developed an extraction method in which the separation of proteins from the inorganic …

Glandular trichomes are metabolic cell factories with the capacity to produce large quantities
of secondary metabolites. Little is known about the connection between central carbon …

Eleven well characterized humic substances (HSs) were adsorbed from aqueous solution
onto a Na‐kaolin clay. The adsorption affinity (K L ), maximum adsorption capacity (b), a …

Drought dramatically affects crop productivity worldwide. For legumes this effect is especially
pronounced, as their symbiotic association with rhizobia is highly-sensitive to dehydration. …

In nature, beneficial and pathogenic fungi often simultaneously colonise plants. Despite
substantial efforts to understand the composition of natural plant−microbe communities, the …

Strigolactones (SLs) are apocarotenoid phytohormones synthesized from carotenoid precursors.
They are produced most abundantly in roots for exudation into the rhizosphere to cope …

Drought is one of the most important environmental stressors resulting in increasing losses
of crop plant productivity all over the world. Therefore, development of new approaches to …

Protein glycation is usually referred to as an array of non-enzymatic post-translational
modifications formed by reducing sugars and carbonyl products of their degradation. The resulting …

Methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) is one of the main additives in gasoline. Its degradation is
known to be difficult in natural environments. In this study, significant MTBE degradation is …

The biodegradation of monochlorobenzene, the main contaminant in a quaternary aquifer
at Bitterfeld, Central Germany, was studied in microcosm experiments employing either …
